Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly around the world, creating unprecedented damage the world was not ready for. To date, the CDC states there are a total of 4,542, 579 cases and 152, 870 deaths in the United States (Cases in U.S, 2020). Many risk factors have been hypothesized to affect the case and death rates from the virus. We felt that a relevant discussion to have would be What are the most regions with the highest number of deaths? What can we say about patient demographics? Is race considered a significant risk factor for increased COVID-19 incidence in the United States?’ Are there any general trends amongst underlying health conditions? These questions are all suited to Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA), and with these questions in mind, we want to see if we could find data on COVID-19 that would be readily available for us to analyze. Eventually, our question morphed into the following: What are the factors (i.e. patient demographics, social determinants of health, environmental variables, underlying health conditions, country of origin) affecting COVID-19 numbers of cases and death rate among different geographical locations in US?
We were able to find a dataset called Covid-19-Dataset on Github over here: https://github.com/johndurbin93/Covid-19-Dataset. This dataset includes COVID-19 confirmed case number and death number through April 14, 2020 which were obtained for each U.S. county from the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) Coronavirus Resource Center at Johns Hopkins University. Race demographics for counties was obtained from the County Health Rankings and Roadmaps Program database. Daily temperature data for counties was obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. This data was compiled by a group of reserchers.
The report is organized as follows:
- Description of the Data (explanation of the dataset and its variables),
- Demographics Data of the patients
- Independent Variables EDA: Slicing the Data for an Overview
- Independent Variables EDA: Boxplots, Scatterplots, ANOVA, & Chi-Square
- Linear Regression Model
- Conclusion

From the average of the output results, we can see that the average proportion of teenagers under the age of 18 is 22.1%, and the average proportion of people over 65 is 19.3%. The largest number of all races is Non-Hispanic White, with an average proportion of 76.2. The average proportion of women is 49.9, the average proportion of the poor is 15.9%, and the average of the Social Association Rate is 11.6. We divide the data into four levels according to total cases.
3.2.2 Which race is the majority of the sample?
According to the average value, we get a pie chart of race proportions, from which we can see the overall proportions of different races. In the following, we will study the proportion of which race is related to the number of confirmed cases and the number of deaths.

Bartlett test of homogeneity of variances
data: TC by rank
Bartlett's K-squared = 25341, df = 3, p-value <0.0000000000000002The Shapiro-Wilk test is used to test whether the data conforms to the normal distribution. H0: The sample data is not significantly different from the normal distribution H1: The sample data is significantly different from the normal distribution The p-value is less than 0.05, the null hypothesis is rejected, and the total cases do not conform to the normal distribution.
Test for homogeneity of variance H0: The variances of the groups are not significantly different H1: The variances of several groups are significantly different The result shows that the p value is less than 0.05, rejecting the null hypothesis, and total cases do not meet the homogeneity of variance.

First, let’s look at the relationship between the total number of cases and race. It can be seen from the correlation coefficient graph that the positive correlation coefficient between total cases and Asians is the largest, which indicates that the higher the proportion of Asians, the more total cases, and Asian infections may be more serious. The other two races with higher correlation coefficients with TC are Hispanics and blacks. The correlation coefficient between total cases and non-Hispanic whites is negative, indicating that the higher the proportion of this race, the fewer the number of people diagnosed with COVID-19.
Second, we can see the relationship between the number of deaths and race, and the results are consistent with the above results.
